PDX Day 1 Plan (Posted out of order because I just realized I never posted it Wednesday - I can't tell you how much I HATE that)

Oh it is so nice to wake up in Portland...it really is.

Here's a run down of our plan for the day, which I'm super excited about.

We'll take the train, then walk to The Cheese Bar and have a lovely late breakfast/early lunch of cheese!  Then another walk to Belmont Station where it's Puckerfest!!  So they will have an amazing selection of sour and wild beers.  OMG.  Freaking out about it.

After that we will hit The Commons, Cascade Barrel House, and maybe another one.  We're going to have a snack or lunch at Bazi Brasserie, which looks amazing.  I'm getting frites.

After that, we are headed over to Apex Bar, which might be my favorite over Bailey's Taproom on this round.  I go back and forth...  But the best thing about Apex is that we are meeting a past co-worker from Target there for a beer!  He just started a week and a half ago at Nike, so I'm very interested in how it's going for him there.  He's a great guy, it will be a good catch up!

Finally, we're going to hit Kachka for dinner - Russian restaurant.  Oh, I'm pumped about that.

I'm not sure how much we'll walk today, but I should plot that out.  Since beer has zero calories, I should lose weight on this trip, right?

BTW - this is us last night, grumpy in coach.
